PSG are currently sitting pretty at the top of France’s Ligue 1, 12 points clear of bitter rivals Marseille.
In 2017 the league leaders shocked their European football rivals with a stunning swoop for Neymar.
The £196million move for the World Cup semi-finalist made him the most expensive player in the world.
However the Brazilian’s tenure at the club been disappointing with claims of bust-ups with Kylian Mbappe and a public fallout with PSG’s ultras.
And Neymar has also clashed with his Brazilian compatriot Leonardo who is currently sporting director at the French club.
Throughout his time in France Neymar has been linked with a move back to Spain.
Real Madrid was thought to be a likely destination, but a return to the Nou Camp has since emerged as his preferred choice.
The Brazilian, has scored 69 times for the club since his mega transfer, including 18 goals in 16 games this season.
However PSG’s hardcore fans booed him at the start of the campaign, despite him scoring a last minute winner in his first game back.
The 27-year-old’s career at the Paris club has been marred by injuries that put him out of action for more than 300 days.
